Miss Emily is one of the most kind hearted dog loving person you could ask for. Having had Emily watch my dog numerous times I have been able to see the growth of her as a dog sitter and the passion in her work. If you want someone who will love your dog unconditionally while its human is away, Emily is your girl. My dog is part of the family to me, as Im sure is the case with most of your dogs as well, and I would not trust anyone more than I trust Emily with my dog.

Emily starts off the day with making sure my dog gets plenty of love and makes them feels right at home. There is no such thing as a mediocre walk or exercise for the day as she makes sure to get the dog out everyday to either to dog beach at Ocean Beach, dog parks of many sorts and even will take that extra length and let them play at the dog beach in Coronado. She has a very careful eye watch over the pups that she watches making sure they dont get into anything they arent supposed to and so that they are safe at all times. You may be asking how I know all this information to such great detail.. well because of my trust in Emily and her extremely kind heart I have became friends with Emily and I take my dog to the dog beach with her from time to time and have witnessed her taking care of other dogs.

If you are looking for a dog sitter that will keep your heart at ease, I would highly suggest contacting Emily.

This is extremely difficult for me, to post a review such as this, so I ask you to read everything, thank you.Emily is an extremely good natured, dog loving, caring, intelligent young woman. When we met at the “meet and greet” I was very impressed. More so than all the others dog sitters and I went on quite a few meet and greets. I did this because this was my first time using Rover and I was a bit leery about entrusting my dog to just anyone, I had to be sure but after meeting Emily and her 8-month-old golden retriever, I knew Emily and her home were the best situation for my dog, Crystal. The week went by and I returned and picked Crystal up. She was extremely happy to see me and I her, especially after the events that unfolded just a few days earlier that I will write about. I tell you this now because I want you to know, once again, that in the end everything turned out just fine; Crystal is great, home with me now but I did get a terrible scare and here it is:I was on my trip to Rio de Janeiro, 3 days from returning but a half a world away, when I received a call on my cell phone. I did not recognize the number and thinking it was probably a misdial I did not answer the call. Immediately I got another and then another but I did the same thing, I sent them all to voice mail. After having a minute or so to think about it, I decided to send a text message to the caller to see if they indeed were looking for me. They quickly responded, "I am looking for the owner of Crystal; she is a beautiful dog, she is off leash, out of control and all over Dog Beach. She is obviously lost.”This absolutely petrified me! How could this happen? Did she get out? How? I called and talked with the young man on the other end of the line. I explained that I was on vacation and that I have entrusted my dog to a pet sitter via Rover. He said, “No way! She has been all over the place, up on people’s blankets, grabbing food, running all over. She is under no supervision at all. Of that I am certain!" I explained she must have gotten out and headed down there on her own because she does indeed love Dog Beach and was there earlier in the week with Emily. I asked him to please secure her and I would contact Emily to find out what happened as well as text him her address as she lives just 2 blocks away. Emily quickly responded that she was at school and that her roommate must have brought Crystal to dog beach. Just so it is understood to all, I did authorize trips to the beach and her being permitted to run off leash, but I did not realize I had to explain that if she was to be OFF LEASH she must be watched 100% of the time! Seriously, does anyone have to explain this? After talking with Emily, I contacted the young man again and he had Crystal. We were talking on the phone and at the same time, he was taking Crystal over to his truck to return her to Emily’s home. Over 25 minutes had passed from the time of the initial call until the time that Emily’s roommate showed up and said (I was still on the phone) “Excuse me but that is my dog you have there.” He replied, “No, no she is not, she is Joe’s, the guy I am talking to on the phone right now, the guy that is PAYING you to watch his dog, something you are OBVIOUSLY not doing.” He then said she should stop talking on the phone, stop taking selfies, or stop doing whatever it was that she was doing, and pay attention to the dog in her care. (I have to say, he really made me feel better about the situation). After a few more choice words that I will not repeat here Emily’s roommate took Crystal and I guess they headed back to their home. I thanked the young man for his help and said goodbye. Later that night, Emily sent me photos showing Crystal was at the house, healthy and happy. She sent me photos on almost a daily basis, something I loved.Here are a few things I want to repeat; I told them Crystal is good off lease and she is. I said it was OK for her to be off leash. What I did not say, something I feel does not need saying, is that whenever a dog is off lease, constant attention must be given to them. They MUST always be under close supervision. What if there is a young child in the vicinity? What about people eating on a blanket? What about if she decides to go in for a swim? ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS a dog needs to be monitored because when they are not even the most obedient dog will stray and may get into trouble! Emily understands what has happened and understands that this lapse in judgement can never happen, ever. She apologized sincerely and I believe her. I believe she will never let anything like this happen again but based on my experience and scare, I can only gave Emily a 3 star rating, something I feel very bad about. I suggest when going to a meet and greet it is extremely important to discuss ALL the ground rules. Leave nothing for chance. Everything the sitter can and cannot do prior to leaving your dog just to be certain.
